JPZR - Episode I

[Guest chucky.egg]

Stumbled over these on The Register. They're old (2002) but made me laugh out loud so I thought I'd share...

JPZR - Making friends and influencing people

JPZR - Flame of the Week

JPZR - Java forums balanced viewpoint

http://swjscmail1.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?...terest&P=R22340

The best bit though is a comment from someone called Nicolas on some sort of Java mailing list giving JPZR his "last" warning (after already being kicked out once)

Please keep you tone down and promote

Java, or go promote MS Pocket PC and Smartphone OS on a Microsoft

mailing list.

So now we know who to "thank" I suppose! :roll: :D

JPZR is so unbiased and such a great diplomat. Hey, he could act as the European Ambassidor to Iraq. And we know what happens to them poor soles don't we................. BOOM!

Heheh. Bear in mind when this forum was created (Novemberish 2002) and early visitors to MoDaCo who had also checked out the newsgroups saw those links. If only then we had known what we were in store for :D

What i would give to see a mirror of that Finland rant and the parody counteract.

I found the original "finland is lame" article (you have to go right to the bottom of the page):

http://www.duvin.org/poland/finland.html

http://www.uniaeuropejska.info/finland/

And the response: Super Pooland

http://www.duvin.org/poland/poland.html

Not JPZR classic material for me, too rational

[edit]

I take that last comment back...

this is what Finland is about - telling half-truths and presenting them from only one point of view

And perhaps the reason why JPZR hates Nokia/Finland? Was he "out-sourced"?

they prefer fetching professionals from far away (for example: India)
